KimCorp. (Kim Taehyung AU)

47

Weeks have passed and the relationship has been going smoothly as ever but not until...

"Love, listen... I'm telling you this because I love you and none of this shit is true!" Taehyung hissed but his exasperation is not directed at Chaeya and she clearly knew that.

"I... I know." Chaeya mumbled. Chaeya felt her lungs collapsed and her knees weaken as if a sledgehammer have slammed her. Her grip on Taehyung's phone loosened. Taehyung then gently held both of her arms and and gently dragged her to sit on their bed— on his new apartment in the outskirts of the city. She couldn't believe it... and out of all the times that this could have happened, it truly had to happen when they're already in a peaceful relationship but despite of the clamor, a small relief bubbled its way to her chest. What a relief that she has to know this from Taehyung and not from floating rumors.

Her eyes returned to his phone screen as she studied the message,

From: xx-xx-xxxx-xxxx (local number)

I'm pregnant with your child Kim Taehyung.

Chaeya would love to scoff and yet although she knew he had not have lied, she couldn't help but still feel a sharp sting beneath her chest.

"I haven't had sex with anyone ever since I told you how I felt." Taehyung softly spoke this time, kneeling infront of her as he rests his arms on her knees. Chaeya knew. She could see frustration and sincerity in his eyes.

"The last time I had sex with someone else was when we were in Hawaii and it is most certainly with a bimbo." He honestly spoke, insinuating that whoever sent the message was lying— since it was obvious that it's a korean number and not an international one. Before Chaeya could even stop herself from speaking—

"Are you sure?" Three words, had slipped pass her mouth. She couldn't take it back, not when it's already out. A hurt expression was immediately sprawled on Taehyung's face, and just like how soon it came, the expression left immediately.

"How do I make you believe me?" He gently asked, trying his best to shake off that selfish feeling of hurt as he would rather think of ways to resolve this conflict. Chaeya sighed... she didn't mean to say it like that... or maybe she did.

"If... If ever I truly got that girl from Hawaii pregnant... she would'nt text me she's pregnant now... when she's probably birthed a child a few months ago." Taehyung slowly spoke, trying his best to rationalize the situation and make Chaeya understand where he's coming from.

"I'm listening..." she mumbled.

"Chaeya, I would never EVER do this to you. I would never cheat on you. Not now. Not ever. So please, help me, tell me how can I prove myself to you— do you feel like it's best that I meet her? And—"

"Taehyung," Chaeya interrupted.

"I trust you. I knew you won't cheat on me but we're only together for a month as of now. I was referring to your previous... relations..." Chaeya added while she mumbled the last part.

"Love—"

"And I also trust you when you told me that you haven't had sex with anybody ever since you know..." she immediately added, interrupting Taehyung in the process.

"How do I resolve this?" Taehyung insisted, a genuine look of worry still plastered on his face.

"I told you it's fine—"

"Love, please. I know. It's just that—. We've just started this—" Taehyung paused as he gestured his fingers between them, referring to their relationship.

"And... I would always want to provide you a secure relationship. I want you to sleep well at night, knowing that YOU agreed to be with me." He added, a frown still evident on his face. Any moment right now, he felt like his heart would escape in his throat in anxiety.

"Taehyung, listen." Chaeya this time spoke firmly.

"First of all, stop saying I. We're in a relationship. The both of us. So instead of saying how do I resolve this, how about, how do WE resolve this?" she said, this time resting her palms on both of his shoulders.

"Second... I AGREED to be with you?" Chaeya added making Taehyung gulp, hoping that what she's about to say is not for the worst.

"Taehyung... you're making it sound like I am forced to be with you. I am not. I want to be with you. This is a mutual decision." She softly yet firmly added.

"Really?" He mumbled in relief and Chaeya heard that.

"HUH? What do you mean really???" She asked, this time worried and confused.

"Of course I want to be with you! That's why I'm here right?" She immediately added.

"Chae, I'm sorry. For the way I've behaved for the past few months... years even. I realized I've crossed so many lines, almost forcing you to be with me. Threatening you to be with me. FUCK. I'm so sorry...." he rambled, almost losing his cool as he felt like spilling all of his guilt and worries
immediately.

"I-if... if you still feel like I'm holding back... leaving you no choice but to be with me... I understand if you break up with me. I'm so sorry. I have no excuses—"

"Love." Chaeya immediately interrupted. A soft smile now placed on her lips. Since she had decided to be with Taehyung, she never really looked back and remembered how he used to behave with her. But now that the Kim Taehyung is apologizing in front of her, she felt a huge relief and warmth snaking it's way to her chest. He had really changed and it's more evident to her than ever.

"I forgive you." She said, this time gently running her knuckles through his cheeks.

"I love you. And I'm here because I want to be with you. You know me Taehyung... if I am truly repulsed by you, I wouldn't be here with you right now." She whispered, slowly leaning in to nuzzle her face to the side of his cheek.

"And you have also made it clear to me that you love me very much. I have never doubted that. I always knew that Taehyung." She added, this time it's her turn to reassure him instead of the other way around. She then placed a soft kiss to his cheek, slightly pulling away as she then leaned her forehead against his with their breaths mingling.

"I love you Taehyung. Please never doubt that again. I'm sorry that I never made it clear to you... but now I hope you realize that I do truly love you. And I believe in you." She whispered against his lips, slowly leaning in to seal what she said in a soft lingering kiss. She then pulled away and felt her fingers wet, she realized her lover had cried.

"Thank you for loving me. I love you so much." Taehyung croaked. Finallt relieved. Relieved from all his doubts, worry, and anxiety. He then wrapped his arms around her waist from his kneeling position in front of the bed as he nuzzled his face to her neck, sniffling in the process.

"And also! Whoever is texting you might be trying to scam you too! So... how about changing your sim? It's not safe for you too, now that your number is leaked." She said, this time in a light hearted manner while she snakes her arms around his shoulders to hold him tight.
